Chapter Twenty-Six: The Hunting Ground
Duanyue sat on horseback and was surrounded by Meng Yin to prevent her from falling off the horse. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He smiled lightly and leaned into Duanyue's ear, and said slowly. "Murong Chui also came to hunt, aren't you afraid of being scolded by him when he sees it?"
"What? Uncle is here too? Didn't he go to the Huya camp with my brother? Duanyue listened to Meng Yin's words, and couldn't help but be shocked, the original confidence in her heart instantly weakened, and even her face was unnatural.
Since the completion of the Ninghou Mansion three years ago, Duanyue left the Murong Mansion with the wind and moved to the Ninghou Mansion. Although there is still contact with Murong Chui from time to time, it is not as close as when he was in Murong Mansion, only Yan Feng has more communication because he is exercising under Murong Chui, but Duanyue is always mixed with Mandarin Yuan or Yan Xinghui, and Murong Trai is rarely seen. Although I haven't seen my uncle for a long time, the fear I have had since I was a child is still there, and if I let my uncle know that I slipped into the hunting ground, it will definitely be scolded.
Meng Yin had already noticed the change in her expression, and chuckled shamelessly, not caring about her worries, but continuing to mend the knife. "Don't you know? Every year, Murong Chui is responsible for the safety of his father, how can he not come. He raised his slender eyes, and his expression was tickling.
The horses "clicked" and arrived in the camp, and Duanyue saw Murong Chui walking between the tents. She didn't wait for Meng Yin to stop the horse, so she jumped down from above, so startled that Meng Yin hurriedly grabbed the reins, for fear that the panicked horse would step on Duanyue.
Then Yan Xinghui, who followed closely, had not yet scolded Duanyue, when he saw her rushing towards Murong Chui with a quick step, so that everyone could not understand her behavior. With such a reckless past, isn't this self-defeating?
And she ran to Murong Trai with confidence. Murong Chui still felt that he was dazzled, how could Duanyue appear in front of him? After a brief moment of surprise, a hint of anger appeared on his face. Murong Chui forcibly suppressed his anger and asked Duanyue in a deep voice. "You weren't staying in Ninghou Mansion, why were you here?"
Murong Chui's afterglow caught a glimpse of the mandarin duck standing behind, but he had already had a vague judgment in his heart. After getting along all these years, Duanyue's personality was exposed at a glance.
Duanyue didn't show fear, but pulled Murong Hang's arm, frowning and coquettish. "Uncle, Xiao Yue hasn't seen you for three months, Xiao Yue misses her uncle."
"So you took Miss Yu and slipped into the hunting ground?" Murong Chui ignored Duanyue's eyes that were as bright as a fawn, and asked sharply.
was yelled at by him, Duanyue was so frightened that she shrank and no longer dared to speak. She turned her head to the few people behind her, sending a distressed look. Yan Xinghui could only sigh, he couldn't see death without help.
He bowed his hand to Murong and persuaded him. "General Murong don't be angry, Xiaoyue is also worried about the general, since he has come, stay in the hunting ground."
"Yes, although Duanyue is naughty, it is also well-intentioned." Meng Tao also helped Duanyue speak.
However, Murong Chui still stared at Duanyue and did not let go. "No rules! Is the hunting ground a place you can come to? Obviously, Murong Chui's anger had not dissipated, and he frowned and said to the two who pleaded. The Seventh Prince and the Third Prince of Yan don't have to defend her. Duanyue, this girl is what I have seen since I was a child, and she sneaked into the hunting ground under the name of coming to see me, if she wanted to see what I did earlier! ”
Seeing that Murong's heart was like a mirror, the two of them no longer dared to speak.
Seeing Duanyue's trembling appearance, the mandarin duck couldn't bear it, and immediately stepped forward to help Duanyue defend herself. "General Murong, please don't blame Duanyue, it's not her fault alone, I also want to come to the hunting ground......" She lowered her head weakly as she said this.
Murong Chui had no choice but to hold his forehead and shake his head. Seeing that everyone excused the stubborn Duanyue, he was like a bad person. He loosened his serious countenance and signaled his concession. "That's it, there's no way anyone can come." Murong Chui glared at Duanyue, who breathed a sigh of relief, and admonished him sternly. "Later, I will let the next person clear the two tents for you and Miss Yu, and you will stay honestly and don't move. It's rare for the emperor to come on a hunt, don't mess things up! ”
Although the emperor is sick in bed all the year round, Duanyue feels that a new emperor will ascend the throne soon, but the old emperor is like an anti-age, getting stronger and stronger, it was difficult to even get up, but now he can still go out of the palace to hunt. This made Duanyue sigh that the emperor is really getting younger and younger the older he gets.
Thinking that Murong Chui finally relented, Duanyue's heart finally landed. She quietly turned her head sideways, made a triumphant expression at the four of them, and then pretended to be innocent and obedient to Murong. "Uncle says whatever Satsuki does."
Murong Chui, who was entangled in affairs, had no intention of talking to Duan Yue more, he just told him again, "Don't make trouble at will" and left in a hurry.
Without the restraint of others, Duanyue immediately jumped up actively. She leaned over to the mandarin duck and looked confident. "Look, I'm saying nothing will happen, and you're still so worried."
Meng Yin chuckled. "That's not the big guy pleading for you."
"Tsk!" Duanyue glared at him. "As long as you didn't intercede for me, okay!" As he spoke, he took the mandarin duck and walked to the tent.
Although it is in the wild, the small tents are extraordinarily exquisite. From the outside, it looks ordinary, but when you walk in, you have everything you need. Duanyue brushed the bed covered with the fur of the beast and sat down. There was a knock on the door, and it turned out to be a palace maid. She put a stack of blue clothes on the table in her arms, and humbly reported to Duanyue. "Slaves and maids see Shi'an County Lord, these are the clean clothes that General Murong ordered the slaves and maids to bring."
"Well, I see, you go down." Duanyue replied to her coldly. Seeing that the palace maid had gone down, Duanyue picked up her clothes and looked at them. A tight-sleeved and narrow shirt is more convenient for women to move freely than the wide robes and large sleeves they wear on weekdays. Duanyue quickly changed her clothes, spread out her obstructive bun, and tied it into a ponytail, which looked particularly sassy with her own body.
She lifted the curtain of the door, and the bright afternoon sun shone on the grassland. Each palace person followed his own trajectory and shuttled between tents one by one.
Duanyue was worried about the mandarin duck in her heart, and immediately ran to her, but when she opened the door, she saw that there was no one inside. She was puzzled around the tent, why did the person disappear? At that time, a palace maid who was responsible for taking care of the mandarin duck's living room passed by, and she poked into her head uncomfortably when she saw the door open, and saw Duanyue hurriedly saluting inside.
"Slave and maid, see Lord Shi'an!"
Hearing the sound, Duan Yue moved her gaze to the palace maid and asked. "Where's Miss Yu?"
"If you go back to the county lord, the young lady will look for you after changing her clothes, I'm afraid I didn't run into a fork in the road." She replied with her head down. Duanyue couldn't help but laugh "oops" in her heart, both of them went to find each other, isn't this a fork! She waved her hand to let the palace maid go down, thinking that she would come back if she didn't see her for a while anyway, so she sat down in the tent and waited.
Seeing a plate of seasonal fruits on the table, Duanyue picked it up to relieve boredom, but at a glance of these eyes, he saw a corner of the paper faintly exposed under the porcelain plate containing the fruit. She looked around vigilantly, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she quickly picked up the plate and pulled out the paper.
The paper was still miserable white, and the ink could still be blurred with a touch of the hand, apparently just released. Duanyue stared at the ambiguous paper.
The neat handwriting on the paper reads: If the Mandarin Mandarin Girl does not give up, please go to the lake behind the forest for a while tonight.
Duanyue was so frightened that she hurriedly put the paper back on the plate, isn't this a tryst? She immediately called the palace maid to ask. "Has anyone else been here but me?"
The palace maid didn't know what was happening, but replied timidly. "The slave doesn't know ......" Duanyue was angry with her useless appearance.
"Isn't it up to you to serve Miss? Why don't you know what to ask! Duanyue couldn't help but raise her voice.
At this time, the mandarin duck happened to come back, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Duanyue scolding her subordinates, and asked puzzledly.
"What's going on?"
